The Climate, Environment, Peace and Security Declaration

G7 Foreign Ministers' Statement on Climate, Environment, Peace and Security

On 13 May 2022, G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and the High Representative of the European Union endorsed a Statement on Climate, Environment, Peace and Security. A common goal is to further develop this initiative, which particularly relies on ownership by and membership of the most climate-vulnerable countries.

Building on The Hague Declaration on Planetary Security, the Berlin Call for Action on

Climate and Security and the work of the Group of Friends on Climate and Security in New

York, we intend to work with like-minded partners to establish a “Climate, Environment,

Peace and SecurityInitiative”. This group will advocate for and undertake concrete and

operational actions, approaches and solutions to help tackle climate and environmental

risks for peace and stability across the world. To that end, this declaration sets out a

seven-pointagenda for actionto advance timely and effective responses to the risks

posed byclimate change and environmental degradation to stability and peace.
